Deer Falls is the uppermost waterfall on the North Fork Skykomish River.

The falls occur within a short but impressive canyon just above the mouth of Goblin Creek.

At this point the river hurtles 90 feet (27 m) in one drop into a deep, blue pool.

The falls do lie in the vicinity of a major road; however, are about 300 feet (91 m) below it.

From this point, you can see the falls but at the same time you are sitting 150-200 above the raging North Fork.
